In the past three seasons, as the SEC has won three consecutive national titles, the conference has also proven dominant in bowl games -- SEC teams are a college best 19-7. The next most wins among big six conference opponents is 12, a number shared by the Pac-10, Big 12, and the Big East. The used-to-be big Ten (now not worthy of having the B capitalized) is 6-16. Putting that into context, that's four less wins than the ACC, which is 10-16 in bowl games the past three seasons.

SEC is now rulers of the game when it comes to bowls and victory and that makes this year no different,

After dominating for the past three seasons, college football fans should take a breath, this year 10 SEC teams are playing in bowl games.

1. Florida vs. Cincinnati,.... Sugar Bowl ...florida gonna rock Cin back into another world no doubt.

2. Alabama vs. Texas,....... BCS Title Game.... SEC is 5-0 in title games and without question BAMA going to make it 6-0 and stop the longhorns

3. Arkansas vs. East Carolina,..... Liberty Bowl..... they have the force and covers well Arkansas victory

Ahhhh I really don't want to spoil the parade, but in case you didn't know it, realize this...

One of the biggest purposes of these bowls is for the title sponsors (I.e.) Papa Johns, Tostitos, at&t) to make money...lots of good money at that. This is the reason why certain teams are selected to play in certain games. You will always, always see the traditional top teams in the country playing in the BCS Title game. I am very convinced even as I think this through, I am convinced that Texas still would have been playing against Bama in the the national title game, whether they beat Nebraska or not. What would have happened was Nebraska and Ndamakong Suh (their star defensive player) would have been the talk for the last few weeks, and would have placed NEB in a much higher rank in the BCS ranks, resulting in a higher bowl.

Moving on- Allstate (for instance) did not spend a whole lotta money just to have cheap teams like Georgia or Auburn or Texas A&M play in the game. Witthe the money they spent you better have a team like Florida or another undefeated in there.

This should answer the question as to why teams like Boise State and TCU can not play in the national title game. I personally think the decision to put Boise State against TCU was evidence of that. Boise State has been 'up there' for a while in the BCS...why put them against a team that is now on the rise? Why couldn't Boise State play Florida? Then again, there are factors that have to be considered (especially financially) when selecting teams to play in bowls.
